Wool Gatherer

May 19th, 2010

One of the black Hebridean sheep from the Ashdown forest flock. This is an oil painting on board. It took ages to get it right and I very nearly abandoned it. But all of a sudden it seemed to come together.

Wool Gatherer

I’m glad it did because these eyes are quite something.

Here it is framed.

Picnic In the Grass

May 17th, 2010

Four pretty girls sitting in the long grass for a bite to eat, watching the world go by. I really like these girls, they have lovely faces and great expressions. This is a small oil painting, a 10×8 oil. I hope to do a larger painting of them soon.

The Flock On the Move

May 12th, 2010

Here’s one of the large Ashdown Forest paintings framed. I’m very pleased with these frames, they look wonderful. This is the flock of Hebridean sheep moving through the forest heath.

Here’s a close up of the canvas…

 

The Flock Heading Home

May 11th, 2010

This is another painting for the Ashdown Forest show. The sheep are heading home in the evening light. This is a small 10×8 oil on board. Not sure of a title yet.

 

Running On The Beach

May 6th, 2010

This painting is the first in a new series ‘dog in action’ paintings I hope to do over the summer.  I wanted to get the feeling of a sunny day on the beach and the sheer joy of running! I wanted a blast of colour with the light coming from behind him.

This was done on paper in acrylics. Here’s a close up detail.

Stag

May 5th, 2010

The finished painting of the stag in the grassy glade in Ashdown Forest. It’s full of abstract grasses with splashes of wild flowers.

Acrylics on board, 12×12 inches. Here’s a close up of the grasses…

I haven’t thought of a good title for him yet. Any ideas gratefully received!

Stag Sketch

May 1st, 2010

A sketch of a stag. This is an idea for a painting for the Ashdown Forest show in May. I like the way he’s looking behind him. It’s a great pose and I like the idea of a square format too.
